False prophet

In religion, a false prophet or pseudoprophet is a person who falsely claims the gift of prophecy or divine inspiration, or to speak for God, or who makes such claims for evil ends. Often, someone who is considered a "true prophet" by some people is simultaneously considered a "false prophet" by others, even within the same religion as the "prophet" in question. In a wider sense, it is anyone who, without having it, claims a special connection to the deity and sets themself up as a source of spirituality, as an authority, preacher, or teacher. Analogously, the term is sometimes applied outside religion to describe someone who fervently promotes a theory that the speaker thinks is false.

Judaism
Jesus is rejected in every branch of Judaism as a failed Jewish Messiah claimant and a false prophet. :"If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, 'Let us follow other gods' (gods you have not known) 'and let us worship them,' you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The Lord your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul. It is the Lord your God you must follow, and Him you must revere. Keep His commands and obey Him; serve Him and hold fast to Him. That prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he preached rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way the Lord your God commanded you to follow. You must purge the evil from among you" (Deuteronomy ). The Books of Kings records a story where, under duress from Ahab, the prophet Micaiah depicts God as requesting information from His heavenly counsel as to what He should do with a court of false prophets. This depiction is recorded in 1 Kings : : "Micaiah continued, 'Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne with all the host of heaven standing around Him on His right and on His left.' And the Lord said, 'Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?'" : "One suggested this, and another that. Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, 'I will entice him.'" : "'By what means?', the Lord asked." : "'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said." : "'You will succeed in enticing him', said the Lord. 'Go and do it.'" : "So now the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The Lord has decreed disaster for you." It is possible that Micaiah meant to depict the false prophets as a test from YHWH. It is also possible that it was meant as a slur on Ahab's prophets, such as Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah. The penalty for false prophecy, including speaking in the name of a god other than YHWH or speaking presumptuously in YHWH's name, is death (). Likewise, if a prophet makes a prophecy in the name of YHWH that does not come to pass, that is another sign that he is not commissioned of YHWH and that the people need not fear the false prophet (). The Jewish Koine Greek term pseudoprophetes occurs in the Septuagint (Jeremiah 6:13, 33:8-11, 34:9, 36:1-8, Zechariah 13:2); Flavius Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews 8-13-1, 10-7-3, The Jewish War 6-5-2); and Philo of Alexandria (Specific Laws 3:8). Classical Pagan writers used the term pseudomantis. ==Christianity==
Christianity
, Beatus de Facundus, 1047 Christian eschatology originated with the public life and preaching of Jesus. Throughout the New Testament and some of the early Christian apocryphal writings, Jesus warns his disciples and apostles multiple times of both false prophets and false Messiahs, and believers are frequently adjured to beware of them and stay vigilant. Gospels In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew ), Jesus warns his followers of false prophets: In the New Testament, the word antichrist (Greek: antikhristos) appears mainly in the Johannine epistles and in the plural, denoting those who deny and/or don't believe in the messiahship of Jesus. ==Islam==
Islam
The Quran states that Muhammad is the "Seal of the Prophets" and Last and Final of the Prophets, which is understood by mainstream Sunni to mean that any ostensible prophets after Muhammed are false. All mainstream Muslim scholars' perspectives from both Sunni and Shīʿa denominations don't consider the Second Coming of ʿĪsā (Jesus) as the coming of a new prophet, since the Islamic Messiah had already been an existing prophet and will rule by the Quran and sunnah of Muhammad, bringing no new revelation or prophecy. Thawban ibn Kaidad narrated that Muhammad said: Abu Hurairah narrated that Muhammad said: Muhammad also stated that the last of these dajjals would be the Antichrist, Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (). The Dajjal is never mentioned in the Quran but he's mentioned and described in the ḥadīth literature. The Dajjal will imitate the miracles performed by ʿĪsā (Jesus), such as healing the sick and raising the dead, the latter done with the aid of demons (Shayāṭīn). He will deceive many people, such as weavers, magicians, half-castes, and children of prostitutes, but the majority of his followers will be Jews. Just like the Dajjal, At the time of the Second Coming of Christ, the prophet ʿĪsā shall return to defeat and kill al-Masih ad-Dajjal. Muslims believe that both ʿĪsā and the Mahdi will rid the world of wrongdoing, injustice, and tyranny, ensuring peace and tranquility. Eventually, the Dajjal will be killed by the Mahdi and ʿĪsā at the gate of Lud, who upon seeing Dajjal will cause him to slowly dissolve (like salt in water). ==Use outside of religions==
Use outside of religions
The term false prophet is sometimes applied outside religious usage, to describe promoters of scientific, medical, or political theories which the author of the phrase thinks are false. Paul Offit's 2008 book ''Autism's False Prophets'' applied the phrase to promoters of unproven theories and therapies such as the unsupported relationship between thiomersal and vaccines and chelation therapy. Ronald Bailey's 1993 book Ecoscam: The False Prophets of Ecological Apocalypse applied the phrase to promoters of the global warming hypothesis; however, by 2005 Bailey had changed his mind, writing "Anyone still holding onto the idea that there is no global warming ought to hang it up." Another usage of the term "false prophet" is used in the Genesis song, Supper's Ready where a man who is called by the community "The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man" turns out to be the Anti-christ and brings upon an apocalypse, yet the plan fails, leading for him, and the "beast" he brought across the world to be obliterated, and the 2 main characters, were brought to the New Jerusalem. ==See also==
